I am in a conflict with myself. Do I still put money in my 401k for the tax benefits today and pray somebody who isn't hostile to markets comes along someday and fixes this or do I get out today and horde cash??

The “market makers” are going to manipulate the markets until the last dime is wrung out of gullible “retail” investors.

Keep your cash. Better yet, convert it into tangible commodities.

Buy & Hold is toast.

hoarding cash is just about useless if you fear rampant inflation. Ideally you want to convert cash into something that has ‘intrinsic’ value, i.e. something that will increase accordingly with inflation. Gold is probably in a bubble right now, and investing in foreign stocks isn’t really better than investing in domestic ones. At worst it’ll probably be like the 1980’s again in terms of inflation, I seriously doubt we’re gonna hit zimbabwe-territory.
